Is this part of your "revenge and rain of hate" that you threatened them a while ago when you duly lost a game? I am kinda losing track how much you hate this game, yet still persevere every week with a bit of drama queen.

Note: I enquired at the Chinese HQ, they said that you have no influence at all over them. Get real.

Judging by the official forums, we'd end up with a game where KT has its 475 armor back, Volks would be able to dual wield Shrecks, Tiger would one shot every Ally tank, and Panther would be a monster on wheels with 400+ armor. So, no, please, no community patches.

I think this thread should be in the strategy section and discuss tactics on how to encounter tommies. This unit is certainly most balanced.

It will be wierd WWI was a slaughter war. So... either change of topic, which risks, or... the end of series.

Casulties of WW1: about 11.000.000 (11-15 mio estimated, without further casualties)
Casulties of WW2: about 60.000.000 (60-90 mio estimated, without further casualties)

Considering numbers, WW2 was more of a slaughter war. WW1 is still considered by historians that altered the lifes of many countries to come.

There is indeed risk involved taking topics which have not been fully explored to gameify real-life stories and events to fit the mold of intended game-play of a video-game. One never thought WW1 would be an interesting topic for a FPS, considering the general beliefs of trench warfare. WW1 also had quite a few war changing mechanics, e.g. the introduction of the Lincolnshire boiling water on wheels (also known as tank), and air bombardment, which are less explored in WW1 video-games. Yet a popular company managed to adapt WW1 to a FPS, albeit a bit artistically bending the history to their will and the result does look rather fun.

And it seems to pay off for that company, considering the pre-ordering numbers being rather high and other companies intending to explore the WW1 theme.

I think this thread should be developed with a the strategy flavour. I do also believe that the unit is in a perfect state. I am still a bit annoyed that it often gets stuck in the world against the tiny little item, but at least they somehow attended to that problem by increasing the acceleration.
